Player fined for mocking appearance of opponent born with cleft lip
Go Ahead Eagles striker Victor Edvardsen has been fined for mocking the appearance of an opponent born with a cleft lip.
Edvardsen made gestures about Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller's nose during their Europa League match on Thursday.
A cleft lip, which can also affect the shape of the nose, occurs when parts of the baby's face do not join together properly during development in the womb.
Edvardsen, who said he went into the Stuttgart dressing room after the game to apologise to Germany international Stiller, has been fined 500 euros (£432) by Go Ahead Eagles, who will donate the money to their social services fund.
